add_subdirectory() for Git Submodules without CMakeLists.txt?

I just thought I’d toss out these two alternatives as other options for you to consider.

Thanks for the additional info.

Generally speaking both the FetchContent approach and the vcpkg approach assume relatively stable dependencies.

That’s not really the case for this project. The submodules do require occasional modification–sometimes merely as a one-off for testing (not committed).

I fleshed my idea out a bit in RFC: inject CMakeLists.txt to add_subdirectory().
